Amiga 1200 Clock Port
« on: August 09, 2011, 09:47:56 PM »
So I have one of those 1200's that was designed by a man who apparently smoked too much crack before going into work. That is to say, the clock port is on the wrong F'ing side.

I have a friend who has offered to fix this for me, but he says it would be best to leave the pins where they are, and install a new set.

Does this sound reasonable, or do they need to be completely removed for some reason?

Also, I assume that all that needs to be done is to basically heat up the solder points where the pins should be, and slip them in?

Thankx!

So....


...is this a simple matter of putting in new pins where the solder is?
